  • Publication number: 20220387042
    Abstract: The present technology is directed generally to devices, systems, and methods for enclosing anatomical openings. In one example, an aneurysm device is endovascularly deliverable to a site proximate to an arterial aneurysm. The aneurysm device can include a closure structure having a distal-facing aspect configured to at least partially occlude the aneurysm and a proximal-facing aspect configured to arch over lumina of an artery. The closure structure can include a plurality of struts forming support arms and anchoring arms. The device further includes a supplemental stabilizer connected to the closure structure and configured to reside in the artery and press outward against a luminal wall thereof. A barrier can span at least a portion of the distal-facing aspect of the closure structure and be configured to further occlude a neck of the aneurysm. The closure structure can be configured to restrict and/or divert flow to or from the aneurysm.

  • Publication number: 20160210858
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for alerting passenger vehicles of approaching emergency vehicles is implemented by an alert management computing device. The method includes receiving an emergency vehicle alert request message from an emergency vehicle transmitter, receiving passenger vehicle location data from a plurality of passenger vehicle user computing devices located in a plurality of passenger vehicles, wherein the passenger vehicle location data includes a present passenger vehicle location and a present passenger vehicle trajectory, identifying an alert zone for the emergency vehicle based on the present emergency vehicle location and the present emergency vehicle trajectory, identifying a vehicle zone for each of the plurality of passenger vehicles, identifying a subset of the passenger vehicles within the alert zone by comparing each vehicle zone to the alert zone, and transmitting a warning to the subset of passenger vehicles via the passenger vehicle user computing devices.

  • Patent number: 6330978
    Abstract: An electronic purse card value system (10) includes terminal devices (12). Each terminal device includes a processor (26) which is in operative connection with a memory (28) and a modem (36). The processor is further in operative connection with components of the terminal device including a customer interface (14) through which inputs are accepted and outputs are delivered, a card reader (22) and a printing device (30,34). The terminal devices are operative to communicate with host computers (42,44,46) through a communication system (38). The system is operative to carry out transactions in which data representative of value is loaded and unloaded from integrated circuit chips on customer cards (24). Data representative of value is stored in the memories of the cards such that certain value amounts are stored in one memory area while other value amounts are stored in a second memory area.

  • Patent number: 6032135
    Abstract: An electronic purse card value system (10) includes terminal devices (12). Each terminal device includes a processor (26) which is in operative connection with a memory (28) and a modem (36). The terminal devices operate in response to configuration data which is stored in the terminal memory. The configuration data is enabled to be programmed into the terminal device by transferring the configuration data from the memory of a smart card (24) which is read by a card reader (22) of the terminal device. The configuration data stored in the terminal may also be transferred to a smart card through the card reader. The smart card may then be taken to other terminals and used to program those terminals with similar configuration data.
